Episode 627
When Giselle saw Wodanaz’s truly aggrieved appearance, she felt like something in her mind snapped.
“I got into a fight with my sister because of someone!”
“for a moment. Moradi. Are you fighting too?”
“…okay.”
‘Why? Are you trying to stab me in the back while saying we’re fighting together? Have you prepared some kind of trap in advance? If it’s a trap…’
Giselle gritted her teeth and said as Lee Han made a very obviously worried expression.
“I’m fighting with you because I don’t want you to fall behind…”
“no way. “Isn’t that too much of an exaggeration?”
“I’m not exaggerating, so come to your senses. So, why on earth did you needlessly flatter my sister…”
Lee Han’s face became serious as he listened to Giselle’s continued explanation.
When I heard the story of the northern knights that Ziklin had destroyed, I felt that the problem was bigger than I thought.
If I made a mistake, I might have to walk around with crutches for the rest of winter vacation.
“I’m a guest from outside, but aren’t you still controlling your strength?”
“You will say it, but I don’t believe it. “My sister is not good at controlling her strength.”
“No, the person who just cuts off the Imoogi’s neck, why can’t he control his strength?”
“Hey, be careful what you say. “Everyone has something they can’t do.”
Giselle did not allow the slightest criticism regarding matters related to Giclean.
Lee Han was lost in thought.
‘You’re saying too much. ‘You’re trying to kill me just because I said I wanted to see swordsmanship.’
This was Lee Han’s mistake.
I should have known in advance and been careful when I was forced to make an appointment after asking for a meal!
“Moradi. “You said you would fight with me, right?”
“okay. “That way, you will be able to control your strength a little more.”
“What if I grab you and hold you hostage?”
Alcicle, who was listening next to him, looked at Lee Han in bewilderment.
Do you call that a word?
But Giselle answered seriously.
“I thought about that too, but given your personality, it would have the opposite effect. “They’ll kill you right after they take me away.”
“I guess that’s true too.”
“……”
Alcicle wondered if he was the only sane person in this room.
I looked to the side and saw Eandurde munching on his sardines.
“Hey, I’m not the only one who thinks it’s weird, right? Does that sound strange to you too?”
“?”
Eandurde looked at this penguin beast as if asking what he was talking about.
* * *
An empty wasteland with nothing in the sky or on the distant horizon.
Lee Han was able to figure out who had called him after seeing the scene in his dream for the first time in a long time.
“nice to meet.”
The black book given by the skeleton principal appeared, fluttering in the air.
It was a black book that always taught Lee Han new magic in his dreams whenever he faced adversity or hardship.
Even if I didn’t know anything else, it was clear that Principal Skull was considerate of Lee Han in this respect.
If it weren’t for this black book, Lee Han could have died once or twice in Einrogard.
‘But now that I think about it, if it weren’t for the principal, wouldn’t the amount of hardships I would have to go through be reduced by about half?’
Farak!
The black book caught Lee Han’s attention by fluttering as if telling him not to think about useless things.
“The black book. Tomorrow I will be fighting a strange knight and I need your help. “Teach me useful magic.”
Paralarak!
The black book flapped its papers as if to say not to worry.
When Lee Han saw that, he suddenly became worried.
“But it’s not a close combat type of magic, is it?”
The magic taught by the black book was basically magic created by the skeleton headmaster.
It was natural since the black book itself was like an artifact created by the skeleton headmaster.
The problem is that those magics are all focused on close combat.
<The Nimble Steps of Gonadaltes> or <The Sharp Hands of Gonadaltes>. In addition to <The Boiling Power of Gonadaltes>…
Although the non-combat magic <Gonadaltes’ Dark Vision> had high versatility, it also felt like a magic developed for close combat.
I’m currently fighting a knight like Ziklin, and I don’t think close combat magic will be of much help.
If you add a drop of water to an empty cup, will it become full?
Farak!
The new magic revealed by the black book was <Gonadaltes’ Quickening Agility>.
“……”
The black book didn’t pay attention to Lee Han’s expression and flapped as if telling him to learn quickly.
* * *
Giselle, who had a hard time sleeping last night, munched on her bread and thought about it.
I still haven’t decided how to fight when I face my sister today.
“Moradi. “I had a good idea.”
“…?”

Giselle was puzzled when Lee Han appeared at the restaurant and suddenly said something like that.
“What?”
“You can use magic when sparring, right?”
“It doesn’t matter this time.”
Since it was not a battle between swordsmanship and swordsmanship, but rather a sparring to show Ziklin’s swordsmanship to Wodanaz, it did not matter if Wodanaz or Giselle used magic.
“When will sparring end?”
“In the case of this sparring… it will end when I think that my sister has shown enough swordsmanship.”
In the battle between knights, the victory conditions varied depending on the rules.
Sometimes they risked their lives and dueled until someone died, sometimes they fought until the first wound was inflicted, and sometimes they set a special goal and it ended when that goal was achieved.
In this case, it was close to the end.
“okay. “It seemed like it would happen.”
Lee Han nodded as if he had expected it.
“Zichlin, you can finish it. So I thought about this method. Moradi. “Unlike knights, we can use magic, right?”
“yes…?”
Giselle listened intently, wondering what Wodanaz was talking about.
“Let’s use as much magic as we can and then lie down because we’re exhausted.”
“…!”
The knight who had to cross swords was bound to hear Ziklin’s shouting the moment he lay down.
Considering Ziclean’s stubborn personality, there was no way that the excuse of someone who gave up without a fight would work.
But the wizard was a little different.
What would you do if, after casting a spell, you lie down and say, ‘I have no magic power?’
…It was a bit too dirty, but Giselle was intrigued.
“surely. “You don’t know magic, so that might work.”
“yes?”
“But the problem is not completely solved. “First of all, I won’t have time to use magic.”
Excellent knights did not give themselves time when dealing with wizards.
There were few beings as threatening as a wizard with enough time.
Zichlin would probably rush in as soon as the confrontation began, just like he did with other knights, and pressure the two like a storm.
They were free to use magic, but under such strong pressure, the only thing they could use was swordsmanship.
“yes. “You have to keep the distance as much as possible.”
“I don’t believe you are saying that I should bait you while you are widening your distance. And that doesn’t even work on you.”
“Moradi. “How do you see me?”
Lee Han protested to his friend and explained the tactics he had prepared.
Considering Zichlin’s skills, it would have been suicidal to clumsily widen the distance and cast magic like he always did.
No matter how much power you don’t use, you won’t be able to widen the distance sufficiently.
I had to focus only on running away.
“There are two of us. You have to take advantage of numbers. I recently learned agility-enhancing magic, so I’ll pick you up and run away as best as I can. “You’re shooting magic at Ziklin.”
“Indeed… wait a minute. “Among the ranged magics I have, there is nothing like that.”
“what? “What did you do without learning long-range magic?!”
Giselle was taken aback by Lee Han’s point.
It was true that White Tiger Tower students were relatively weak in long-distance combat, as most of their combat magic was based on strengthening or enchantment.
However, even the other towers could not fire magic as recklessly as Wardanaz said. Casting magic was itself a very difficult task.
“Don’t you know that using magic wildly is no joke, and if you do it wrong, you’ll get really exhausted?”
“ah. Indeed… if you make a mistake and become truly exhausted, you are telling the truth.”
Lee Han, who was pondering, nodded as if he had no choice.
“Then there is only one way.”
“??”
* * *
Zichlin, standing in the training hall, showed faint surprise on his face at the unexpected sight.
The younger brother was standing there holding the boy from the Wardanaz family in his arms.
“Giselle. Now this…”
“…It’s a strategy in its own way.”
“I know what the strategy is. “The wizard himself can’t concentrate on his spell while keeping the distance between him, so isn’t Wardanaz trying to cast the spell while Giselle is running away?”
“!”
The two were surprised to see Zichlin guessing right away instead of being surprised by this bizarre sight.
“As expected, Jiclean. “You recognize me right away!”
When Lee Han, who was held in Giselle’s arms, shouted, Giclean nodded as if it was no big deal.
“Just because you’re a wizard doesn’t mean you only use tactics that completely catch you off guard. “If you take into account the use of magic, you can predict anything.”
“indeed.”
“Are you willing to flatter me in this position, you bastard?”
Giselle was astonished to see Wardanaz flattering her while stretched out horizontally.
But Lee Han was confident.
“Moradi. “If you feel embarrassed here, it will feel even weirder.”
“It’s already weird enough.”
“How are you feeling?”
“I think we still have enough orders. As soon as you start, blow with all your might. “Her sister shouldn’t give her a break.”
Before the battle began, Lee Han cast all the strengthening spells he could cast, including <Gonadaltes’ Nimble Footsteps> and <Gonadaltes’ Quickening Agility>, on Giselle.
This was the only way to achieve a speed that exceeded Zichlin’s expectations.
‘It has to work.’
“Then let’s begin.”
The moment Ziclin said ‘everything’, Ziclin was already in front.
Giselle desperately began to widen the distance by exploding magical power in her legs.
Although my body was incomparably lighter than usual, I did not feel at ease at all.
Caught up!
“Park Mu, spread!”
Fog spread around Giselle. From the outside, it was a fog of illusion that made it impossible to focus properly.
However, Zichlin closed his eyes and used his senses to follow the two and changed direction. Lee Han and Giselle both looked fed up at that sight.
“Darkness, sweep away!”
Lee Han spread the dark wave as if striking a wide area.
Even though its attack power is insufficient, due to the nature of the dark element, it will definitely have the effect of briefly stopping the attacking knight.
However, Ziklin held the sword with one hand, clenched his fist with his other free hand, and fired a fist into the air.
The dark waves were canceled out by the sound of the air being torn apart. That kind of power was created just by striking with a fist filled with magical power.
‘Is it really a monster!?’
Lee Han was shocked, but there was no time for that. I immediately gritted my teeth and recited the next spell.
“Gather together, rotate!”
Chunks of water gathered in the air and began to rotate rapidly.
Water beads with the maximum rotation possible flew in with a heavy sound.
Zichlin swung the sword that had not been drawn yet with its sheath and shot down the water beads. Although the shock was probably unusual, his posture did not waver at all.
‘amazing!’
Lee Han was impressed by Ziklin’s swordsmanship.
Moradi’s swordsmanship was also a variety of dual swordsmanship, but Ziklin’s swordsmanship was even more flashy, as if he was claiming that this was the true family swordsmanship.
Even when using only one sword, it was impossible to follow the change.
“Sharkan, Gonadaltes. Come out! Rise up, warriors made of bone…”
Lee Han wondered if, in the worst case, he should at least summon Perkuntra.
Summoning Perkuntra during a practice sparring was nonsense, but the knight running in front of me had a force that made me think about that.
If it continues to narrow down like this…
widely!
Giclean finally chased after Giselle, stretched out his sword, and stopped in front of his sister’s forehead.
And then he praised me in a gentle voice.
“They both did well. “I’m happy that it exceeded my expectations.”
“……”
“…???”
The two were embarrassed.
Giselle came to her senses first and asked.
“Uh, is this the end?”
“That’s right.”
“My arms and legs are still fine, but you’re saying it’s just over?”
“Giselle. What does that mean? “If guests from outside hear it, they will misunderstand it.”
“……”
